Hi Carter,
Odd that w2k would act that much diff. I just performed a test to make sure
that something hadn't changed on me or that I wasn't smoking something:
# nsrjb -j L180-1 -l -S 8-7 -S 6
nsrjb: Jukebox error: Thu 13:28:27 `low' may not be greater than `high' in `-S
8-7'
Ok, but this worked. So, any _range_ must be increasing sequentially.
# nsrjb -j L180-1 -l -S 7-8 -S 6
Regards,
/\/elson
